Look What The Wind Blew In

St Mary's at 11:15 hrs, North Bay chokka with Ringed Plover, Knot, Lapwing, Sanderling, the odd Curlew, a few Rock Pipits, one or two Oystercatcher and one Barwit. Bloody freezin', winds from the north.

When do White Wagtails arrive? I am positive there was one in the first car park at St Mary's, along with a Pied Wagtail. Thoughts?

I was stealthily (for a man with an ailment) trying to get near when a taxi pulled in and the birds pulled out!

14:15 hrs, three Waxwings at Wideopen, in the apple tree (still with red apples on it), Stalks Road, south side, 100 yards east of the A1 bridge.
